Long Gone Days (PC) Review
Whenever I hear about a turn-based game, I tend to stay away. I prefer having a full hand in the action that plays out with combat that is based on skill and less so on chance and intense strategy. I felt the…

Cocoon (PC) Review
You may remember that strange, slightly muted in sections, but often times colorful and mind-bending puzzle game from this year’s faux-E3 showcases. Particularly the Day of the Devs where Geometric Interactive and Annapurna Interactive showed off the stunning Cocoon from designer Jeppe Carlsen, designer of Limbo and Inside. To…
Bang-On Balls: Chronicles (PC) Review
Other than a few scattered memes, I had never heard of Country Balls before I caught wind of Bang-On Balls: Chronicles. My draw to the game which has been in Early Access for more than two years was the premise of an…
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (PC) Review
With the Asymmetrical Horror genre being a very unstable area of the gaming market, I wanted to let this review simmer for a little bit. This game comes among the recent closure of Video Horror Society, the relentlessly successful yet buggy performance…

Enchanted Portals (PC) Review
When I first saw that Enchanted Portals existed, I was slightly intrigued since the art style was very similar to Cuphead’s iconic designs. It is so prevalent that many people go about simply calling this game “The Cuphead Clone.” To say that…
Lies of P (PS5) Review
They say that Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. However, in some cases, imitation strips a project or piece of art of most of what would give it its own identity. I wanted to like Lies of P since the idea…
Hammerwatch II (PC) Review
I never had the chance to play the original Hammewatch back when it was first released in 2013. However, I love a good fantasy RPG and this newest entry in the series piqued my interest with a charming retro art style. In…
RoboDunk (PC) Review
I grew up with a lot of sports games, especially in the era where the action was exaggerated and arcade-y to the max. When I wasn’t playing NFL Blitz, I took a liking to NBA Jam‘s ludicrous presentation and huge fun factor any chance…
